Lutec Motor (pdf) - Lutec purports a prototypes that amplifies
electricity by at least five times. If valid, this technology could help
solve the energy crunch. In this document, Lutec addresses the
question: " Where does the 'EXTRA' energy come from?". No back EMF
is part of the equation. (Nov. 27,

will develop energy storage systems based on a hybrid batterywhich combines an asymmetric
supercapacitor and a lead-acid battery in a single unit cell. The
expected discharge and charge power of the Smart Storage battery will be
50% higher and its cycle-life at least 3x longer than conventional
lead-acid. (Green Car Congress; Nov. 26, 2007) (Thanks John Q.

Wind > Debating
the Merits of Energy From Air - Supporters see wind turbines as
elegant symbols of a clean-energy future. But as the industry expands

Hydraulic > Thermoenergetics:
Can Hydraulics Reverse Entropy? - The idea of entropy, of the constant
and irreversible winding down of the universe, was introduced with the second
law of thermodynamics. One of the great minds of this century, an outsider to
established science, has recognized the folly of this view and coined a term
for the antidote: syntropy. (Sepp Hasslberger Blog; Nov. 24)

Connecting
wind farms - Wind power, long considered to be as fickle as wind
itself, can become a dependable source of electricity at a lower cost,
according to scientists at Stanford University. The key is connecting
wind farms throughout a given geographic area with transmission lines,
combining the outputs into one powerful energy source. (PhysOrg;
